"Architecture is the arrangement of Light; sculpture is the play of light"
The design process aims to enhance the impressive view of the sunsets that adorn the residence every evening and bring color to its internal spaces.
As the name suggests, the interior benefits from abundant natural light through double-height ceilings and large windows that allow light to enter and bounce off the white-painted walls, creating an atmosphere of spaciousness and clarity.
For the façade design, a large white prism in the shape of an “L” was proposed, giving the sensation of being suspended over a base of stone-clad walls, surrounded by planters and detailed lighting. This is complemented by wooden screens and the glass of the windows.
